Gynecomastia surgery corrects enlarged male breast tissue for a flatter, more masculine chest contour. Dr Saba Al Marush combines liposuction and glandular excision for natural, proportionate results with discreet scarring.
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by hormonal imbalances, genetics, weight changes or certain medications. It affects up to 65% of men at some point in their lives and can cause significant self-consciousness.
Gynecomastia surgery removes the excess glandular tissue and fat, creating a flatter, firmer and more masculine chest contour. The condition rarely resolves on its own, making surgical correction the most effective long-term solution.
Gynecomastia is classified by severity, which determines the surgical approach required.
Dr Saba examines your chest, assesses the grade, rules out underlying causes and discusses realistic outcomes.
Liposuction alone, glandular excision, or combination — based on your specific anatomy.
1–2 hours. Incisions in discreet locations (areola border). May be performed under local or general anaesthesia.
Compression garment for 4–6 weeks. Light activity at 1 week, full exercise at 4–6 weeks.
Liposuction — For fatty gynecomastia (pseudogynecomastia). Small incisions, minimal scarring. VASER-assisted for precision.
Glandular excision — For true glandular tissue that liposuction cannot remove. Small peri-areolar incision for direct removal.
Combined approach — Most common. Liposuction removes fat while excision targets dense glandular tissue for the flattest result.
Skin removal — For Grade III–IV with significant skin laxity. Additional incisions to remove excess skin.
Gynecomastia surgery delivers permanent results as long as the underlying cause is addressed and stable weight is maintained.
Pubertal gynecomastia may resolve within 2 years. Adult gynecomastia rarely resolves without treatment. Surgery offers a definitive solution.
Post-operative discomfort is well-managed with medication. Most patients describe it as mild tightness rather than pain.
Recurrence is rare when the glandular tissue is properly removed and the underlying cause is addressed (medication, weight, hormones).
Incisions are placed along the areola border where colour change naturally conceals them. Scars typically fade to near-invisible.
Hormonal imbalance (oestrogen/testosterone ratio), genetics, weight gain, certain medications and some health conditions.
Exercise can reduce fat but cannot eliminate glandular breast tissue. Surgery is the only effective treatment for true gynecomastia.
